On VM/CMS, I have a fairly automated procedure that I run the first day of each month and the first day of each weekly cycle to remove notebooks. Most of them are simply deleted. A few owners asked me to send them copies. I keep two separate files of weekly and monthly purges. Some archives are just kept a month and others are kept for years. ----- Bill Verity (814)-865-4758 (814)-863-7049 [log in to unmask] 215 Computer Building, University Park, PA 16802 Center for Academic Computing, Penn State Postmaster, Listserv and Mailer maintainer, Helpdesk
